BMP Slope Protection
Galvanized Barbed Wire – The Most Common and Affordable Choice
Galvanized barbed wire undergoes treatment to enhance its corrosion resistance and durability. This process ensures the wire withstands harsh weather and corrosive outdoor elements, providing a longer service life. It remains one of the most popular methods to prevent rust and corrosion. With years of experience and advanced hot-dip galvanizing and electro-galvanizing technologies, BMP delivers high-quality galvanized barbed wire products. You can treat the surface of the steel wire with either hot-dip galvanizing or electro-galvanizing. Hot-dip galvanizing involves coating the wire with a thicker layer of zinc by immersing it in molten zinc.Electro-galvanizing, on the other hand, applies a thinner zinc layer through an electrochemical process.

Zinc Surface Density (the more zinc, the stronger the corrosion resistance):
-
HDG Barbed Wire
- Core Wire (g/㎡): 80, 114, 175, 260
- Barb Wire (g/㎡): 60, 85, 147, 240
-
Electro-Galvanized Barbed Wire
- Core Wire (g/㎡): 8-14
- Barb Wire (g/㎡): 8-14
Hot-dip galvanized barbed wire is preferred due to its high zinc content, enhanced corrosion resistance, and longer lifespan.Although electro-galvanized barbed wire has a smooth and shiny appearance, it contains less zinc, offering weaker corrosion resistance, making it a more cost-effective option.
